These pre-conference events are designed to cultivate interest and engagement among Nepal’s burgeoning tech community, setting the stage for the main conference on August 30–31, 2025, at St. Xavier’s College.
What is UbuCon Asia?
UbuCon Asia is a volunteer-led conference uniting Ubuntu fans, developers, engineers, designers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and open-source contributors from throughout Asia. It serves as a vital platform for sharing knowledge, fostering collaboration on open-source technologies, and advancing the Ubuntu ecosystem. This year’s event in Kathmandu marks a significant milestone for the Nepalese open-source community.
Building momentum: student interactions
The Student Interaction session at Liberty College introduced students to the world of Ubuntu, Linux, and open-source development. Through interactive discussions and networking, attendees explored:
The crucial role of open-source in modern software development.
Pathways to contributing to projects like Ubuntu and GNOME.
Diverse career and learning opportunities within open-source technologies.
Inspiring real-world success stories from Asia’s FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) community.
This event played a crucial role in building anticipation for the main UbuCon Asia 2025 conference, scheduled to take place later this year.
Driving the event: key organizers and supporters
The pre-conference activities are supported by ICT Frame Magazine, a prominent ICT news and education platform in Nepal, and coordinated by One Cover Pvt. Ltd., a tech organization dedicated to community and digital collaboration. GNOME Nepal and the UbuCon 2025 organizers are also affiliated, with their visual branding prominently featured across all event materials.
